I play games for gameplay, not silly gimmicks

H3 MM warrior

Reach S7, 8 and 9 arena warrior.

H4 MM legend

I honestly cant say anymore. Probably arena, even though I play it fairly rarely, but doubles is up there as well depending on who I play with.

I cant play playlists like firefight, or grifball, because I need competition, or holding on randoms very occasionally, to have fun. Things that require running straight at the other team, and using no brains what so ever, just doesnt appeal to me. I also have to play with a full team, otherwise its too boring.

Shine Brighter.

Invasion - Unique styled objectives and i like how each loadout offers different weapons for a variety of different playstyles

Team Slayer - Simple, kill the other team and assault rifle starts give more reason to use a variety of weapons throughout the match.

Capture the Flag - It's potential is brought out in Big Team battle only on certain maps, however. also fun in objective. i like the team work it requires.

BTB Heavies - You get a chance to basically use everything. A large variety of weapons and vehicles available and it usually results in pure chaos.

as you can see i like variety in my gametypes.

The abundance of forge world maps in Reach is killing it for me and it is proving to be a challenge to get back into. I'd rather stick with the same maps over and over then get more forge world. I like real maps with a fresh new feel to each, not the same bland grassy and grey wall fest that is currently plagueing the reach MM experience

Gametype or playlist?

For playlist I only really enjoy BTB or Arena these days, BTB probably being my favorite. I hate searching in parties of 4+ though, at that point its just holding on randoms who stand no chance and that gets very boring. Searching in parties of 2 is a great mix of not to stressful while still having a good challenge carrying your teammates.

Also I'll add that BTB Heavies is awful and nearly killed BTB for me. Now I have to search on my own most of the time because one of my XBL BFF's hates it and stopped playing : (

Life is a journey, if you spend all of it with your nose in your map, you may miss some of the best parts.

MLG, if anything.

Everything else is not even challenging and boring, which is why I quit.

If by a variety of weapons you mean the Magnum, DMR, NR, and power weapons, then you'd be right.

I like MLG since it's better than any version of default Reach, but I'll go for some good Doubles as well.

Not that i expect many to agree with me, assault rifle starts just give more reason to move around the map. i tend not to use all of the competitive weapons like the DMR and Needle Rifle (yet i still think i gotta decent 1.36 K\D for a casual)

To each his own.

MLG Slayer or flag honestly.... but against people that aren't very good. Because anyone with half a brain and any aim destroys me lol

The Internet is an empowerment tool that's agnostic; it doesn't care about race, gender, or age.

Premium Slayer - Undefeated (111-0)
Anniversary Playlists - Undefeated (118-0)

Currently, it's Doubles and Arena. I've been playing dubs with my cousin since H3, so it's pretty fun. Arena is ok although I mostly search alone.

The 343 forums suck. They're full of retarded kids and mods who got butthurt in the B.net forums for being told that they're bad.

I like the concept of Invasion, but Bungie's version was not balanced well.

  • 06.04.2012 11:58 AM PDT

chances are I don't care who you are or what you say.

Anyone who claims the AR takes skill ought to shoot himself in the head. Preferably with the AR because they'll most likely miss with any other weapon.

BTB.net is the only reason I still play.

Rumble Pit or Ann FFA.

I've always preferred FFA to team. I've never really took the time to learn callouts, map positioning, etc.

Infection in Halo 3 isn't zombie killing; it's ethnic cleansing. Have you ever noticed that these "zombies" are just black Spartans?

FFA King of the Hill.

I greatly prefer messy, frantic FFA objective games where chaos and blind grenade throws rule the day.

If I'm shooting someone, it's because they're holding a flaming skull and I want to be holding a flaming skull and caving in people's heads with it instead. I avoid Slayer at all costs but I find myself stuck playing it most of the time I play Halo, frustratingly - which is why I almost never venture out of Firefight where I can be haunted by must-use-the-rocket-launcher-and-nothing-else-because-it' s-all-about-the-points-guys players instead.

CTF is god. Praise his name. For the flag is his holy messiah.

Posted by: Bricypoo Nobody quotes me and puts me in their signatures It makes me sad ... :(
My third montage!

CTF. Always has and always will be. I enjoy the team work involved and the dynamic, push-pull of the matches especially in 4v4 variants. Although CTF in BTB can be a real joy.

I also found the 2flag pro settings to be quite enjoyable.

I'd be down for that, what's the name of your alt? I probably won't be on this week, but next week for sure.

Why does everyone hate Halo 2? Maybe its because its the worst game ever next to mario.

Is this about playlists or gametypes?

For me it's Rumble Pit for playlist and TU FFA Slayer Pro for gametype.
